Objects tn Wholesale Criticism

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
While the Republicans of Spencer county are
very much Disguised. as well as Inundated, over
the compromise" of tho Republicans of the
Legislature to the usurper Green Smith
and the rest Of the Democratic mob, we
do not feel that the Republican papers
Of the State are dealing justly with the Repub-
lican members Of the House. Why include all
the Republican members, when it is evident
that it was the committee that made the "agree-
mentp Why not cast the blame where it be-
longs-to the committee, and them only? Would
1t have been honorable for the members to have
''gone back" on their agreement to the commit
tee to abide by their decision2 No. We believe
our Republican members of the Legislature are
gentlemen, and gentlemen of honor, and do not
agree with the majority of your correspondents
in thinking it was for the lack of courage. I"
Right will prevail, as it always does, and while
1t now seems dark to the Republicans, we be-
lieve a brighter day is coming.

Washington County Can't Understand 1t.
To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journals:
To say that the Republicans here are indig-
nant at that cowardly compromise is to draw
it exceedingly mild They are hot. w. Ray
Gardiner was at home on Sunday, and in the
postof6ce lobby gave a seance in attempted JUS
LITIGATION of his course, but a favorable result
from him failed to materialze. Republicans
here cannot understand how right
can be compromised with wrong nor how law
COMMUNICATING spirit, can be compro-
missed with revolutionary one, and say: IF
Gardiner did not think the Democratic majority
in the Senate and minority in the House were
aiming at revolution why did he (Gardiner) in
troduce that resolution of censure of Judge
Ayerss decision in the Lieutenant governor
contest one day, in effect declaring the Demo
Gratis revolutionists; and then, why did he the
next day sign a compromise" which. II
he was in earnest the day before was polit-
icaly, signing compromise with revolutioniss
and attempted law and constitution breakers;
or, better, signing political league with the
devil, and a compact with hellF"

Miscellaneous Notes.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad will
show about $500, 900 surplus for the year 1886,
above its dividends, after carrying $3.50, 900 to
the sinking fund
Work on the California Southern from San
Bernardino westward is progressing, and the
rails are expected to reach Cuccamonga by the
end of the month.
The Baldwin locomotive works, in the year
1885, built 800 locomotives. The largest num-
her ever built at these works in year was in
1857, when SOB engines were turned out
The Atchison is reported to have guaranteed
the citizens of Oceanside, Cal, railway connec
ton with San Diego by its line in year. Act
ual work on the line is now going on near San
Juan Capistrano.
The emigrant-cars on the Union Pacific,
which, as is generally known, are plain sleeping
cars are being fitted with curtains for the berths
and supplied with cooking stoves, sinks for wash
| ing dishes and other conveniences.
| The fastest time ever made by railroad train
| on the Pacific coast was made by special engine
and baggage-car on the Central Pacific which
was sent from San Francisco to Sacramento to
secure the delayed costumes of the Aimee COM
pany. The of us miles was made, deduct
| ing stops for ferriages and water at the rate of
| about one minute and seven seconds mile.
The chief engineer Of the Norfolk & Western
| railroad has received instructions to begin at
once the necessary surveys for line connecting
| that road with the Cincinnati, New Orleans &
| Texas. Engineers will start for Bristol immedi-
| ately. The line will extend in a southwesterly
| direction $50 miles to place called lockwood,
on the Cincinnati. New Orleans s. Texas, and
| about seventy miles north of Chattanooga.
sS4s negotiations between the Reading, the
| Baltimore & Ohio, and the Pennsylvania is
| alleged to have been mainly between the two
| former, with an understanding of what the Penn.
| sylvania would do. The first step, it Is said,
will be the annulling of the old contract between
the Baltimore & Ohio and the Reading as to New
| York business. When this is done, the Pennsyl
vania will be ready to make terms with the Read
| ing on coal business
''The more detailed reports of the testimony
taken at the inquest on the Republic disaster on
the B. 81 o. says the Railroad Gazette, ICON
firm the conclusions then drew. A
civil engineer has taken measurements
which show the curve to be such an
easy one that the passenger runner
might have seen lights for two thousand feet OF
further ahead of him, that if the freight had
even poor headlight even the fastest train ough
to have been brought to standstill, or very neal
it, before coliding The testimony gives very
positive evidence that the engineman of thu
freight train was stupefied by liquor 1t is quite
apparent that the freight conductor had no
enough force of character for position of thai
kind, for there seems to have been some talk be-
tween the trainmen about protecting the train
and the conductor weakly submitted to beins
overawed by the engneman's surliness"

The Republicans and fair minded Democrats
of Fulton county unite in condemning the sur
rendering compromise of the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature to the revolutionary MOP
OF sand-baggers led by the bullying Green Smith.
Up TO the time of the surrender the course
pursued by Republicans in both branches OF the
Legislature was regarded by all honest men as
the very best There had been a record MADE OF
which none bearing the name Republican neeo
DO ashamed. But in the very hour OF triumph
whom 1t appeared to all that we held the Key 10

weakened and entered into partnership win

setting at naught the glorious victory achieved py

against US. The people reasonably expected tne
Republican members of the Legislature to stana
firmly and squarely. upon their constl.utionai
right and demand the rights and privileges to
which they were entitled by every rule or law.
The knowledge Of the fact that in the time OF su-
premc Importance their trusted servants should
become subservient to the dictates OF the bully
ing usurper from Jennings county, is re-
earded as sad commentary on the
valor and courage of Republican legis-
lators who certainly had conviction
as to what were their rights, but had not the
courage of that conviction. The whole affair is
looked upon as an uncalled for blow at Colonel
Robertson, who should, of right, to-day be pre-
siding, as acknowledgements over the Senate
instead of Green Smith, the usurper, who would
be more at ease presiding over a council of wal

Having given the matter of outstanding
claims against the Honolulu Rifles compa-
MES careful consideration, we find,
l. That the orders for all the goods for
which these claims are presented were given
by the commanding officer, in good faith, be-
lieving that when the goods were delivered,

the year 1886
8. That although portion of the clothing
has been furnished since June Both, it has
been principally on orders placed previous
to that date.

and some articles of equipment Ito complete
outfit supplied since June Both.
